Why Richmond ShOuld Have Il
nail CiUD.

TO the Edi'or Of the Dispatch:
Richmond, a city Of $4,000 inhabi-
tants, has not single place Of amuse-
ment during the summer months. OF
what other city in the country can tins
be said? If we have a baseball club
here there will be amusement, certainly
Ter six mOnths-an innocent amuse-
ment, too. 1t will also advertise the
city. For instance, how many people
il the South ever think of Detroit that
tie idea is not connected with her fine
baseball club. Some people may say
it will not pay to run club
here, but the writer and any one
else who ever visited our ball
park during the time OF the Virginia
teams career knows full we'll that had
the business been carried on straight
that the club would have made money.
Now what we want is to have a club
here in the Southern League. As they
are very anxious to have us and are
willing to play on the percentage plan
such a club could be gotten up by
stock company with a capital OF from
$1,000 TO $4,000, which could be
readily gotten up. Each OF the city
railway companies should not take less
than 81, eco, and the balance could DO
raised from our young men who have
10 spend their summers here and who
delight in the sport. l have talked to
numbers about this plan and have not
heard any one say Aught against it,
lake the merchants and clerks on
Fourteenth street and 5000 can be
raised any day.
Let some good man take hold of the
matter and push il through at once.

A NOTABLE WEEK.

The week hos been O notable one in
the theatres for many reasons. There
have been several new plays of the far
cical variety, and the long run Of " Er-
uiuie" has been brought to close.
The success of this opera dwarfs all
other similar productions. 1t is mar
vellous to think Of the protracted hit it
has made when it Is considered that
the whole triumph is due to the the
atre and not the piece. "Erminie has
been played in London and by seve-
raj companies in different cities here,
Int never with anything approach
inc the success it has met with
at the Casino. The seats have been
sold at premium for weeks, AMI now
speculators are paying . and 81 for
single seats in TIE boxes. The standard
of excellence has been kept up through
out, and the management OF the house
deserves the honOrs. Though the
opera has run for nearly two years,
Mir. Aronson continues 10 improve the
cast and strengthen every weak point.
The troupe that now goes on tour Will
rank as the best company that ever
went out Of New York. Francis Wilson
is the peer OF Dixey and Goodwin
and the most finished of character
actors, while his partner, DaboIl, ranks
with the best comedians. Either OF
tlese men could star. So could either
of the two leading women, for that
matter. Famine Hall and Marie Jan
sen are at the very top Of the ladder
now. Lillian Russell Is a fallen god

carbon discs, and as Ibis pressure is
increased or diminished varied eur
rents are sent into The lines to the
receiving magnets, which cause the
receiving pen to reproduce every
movement Of the pen of the writer Mt
the transmitting station. The receiv-
ing instrument consists oftwO electro
magnets set ut right angles to each
other. AT the point where the poles
would reach if extended is q rod for
carrying the nrmatures. Near where
therodis pivoted ntthe bottom aspiring
wire, is inserted, so that lis armatures
can easily and quickly respond to the
varying attraction 0f he electro mag
nets. The armnture rod extends
above the table and carries the record
ing pen. Each machine. is both a
sender and ii receiver, and the work
ing of the system is most simple.
The operator at the sending station
uses the stylus as a pen to form ina
ginary letters, words, and sentences
in short, to write. He sees the writ
ing produced by the recording pen
in ink on a slip of ordinary paper
riband which slowly passes before
his eyes. At the receiving end the
operator sees precisely the same
thing going on, for the written mes
sage is being reproduced by the little
pen, line Tor line, in perfect facsimile
on a slip of paper passing before him.
We thus have a really beautiful sys-
tenn of written messages, and n
which is already working CONNER
cially in the United States, where it
is taking the place of the telephone
with marked success. Instead of the
repeated shouting aud comparative
publicity of the telephone, the mes
sage is written by the sender and the
visible answer received in perfect
quiet. But should the surroundings
be noisy il matters not, Tor the little
pen silently writes away regardless Of
noise of any kind. The writing of
both ends has all the characteristics of
the writing of the sender, and the mes
sage constitutes a record which can
not he disputed, and therefore invalu-
able to business men. There is a
facsimile record at each end, and
neither ofthem can be altered with
out detection. The invention is at
once ingenious and practical, and is
the completed expression ofgthe long
cherished desire to produce a wiring
telegraph.-The Times.

b. Ma VACATION ON
THE AMAZON.

OONAlAl bRkVNobO0 rs b00
Lima -
Senior Santiago Torrico, who has
been residing for some months past in
Iquitos, and who is employing every
effort to promote the welfare of those
regions, has made arrangement
under which the En- line of steam
ers, known as the Amazon Steamship
Co, whose vessels now run between
Para and Iquitos, shall extend their
voyages and run on the HuaIlaga,
Uchyali, and Maranon rivers. In
order to facilitate this operation the
Company has appointed Senior Tor
rico, rs Agent, and given him charge
of one of the steamers end a hulk.
This latter will be used TO receive
and store cargo until the steamers
nre ready to leave. The first steamer
to start from Iquitos under this ar
rnngemrnt was the M0j@, which left
for the UcayaIi, aid on her return
she would be sent to YnrimhguaS on
the HuaIlaga. We also learned that
the agent of the Company, >enor
John Hudson, has offered to furnish
Stnor Torrico, within a few mOnths,
with two more steamers, IN order TO
extend the frequency of the voyages
of the vessels of the lines through the
Amaz )niam af1uents. The Company,
we may mention, receives a Snbven-
ton of $1,000 per anncm from the
Brazilian government for keeping
up mail communication between
Manaos and Iquitos.
This information will be read with
pleasure by explorers, travellers, and
all in any way connected with bust
ness in any portions of Columbia,
Ecuador and Peru, which are drained
by the Amazon. The further steam
boats penetrate the tributaries of the
Amazon the sooner the banks of
those streams will be settled aud de-
veloped. At present the vessels
steam day after day though forests
and plains which bear no signs of
human life, but which will some day
be denseIy populated. The initiative
of this line OF Engli sh steamers is Of
vast Importance, and all will desire
that the Company may meet with
much success. Tire agent, Senior
Torrico. seems to be admirably chosen
for the position, as he is a thorough
sailor and has long been accustomed
to hardships and difficulties s,rcA as
those which must necessarily be en-
countered in bopening up a line of
commercial steamers in a vast region,
and one which has previouslyonly
been iraversed by armed vessels sent
for purely scientific purposes. The
many friends of Senior Torrico' will
learn with pleasure that he has at
length attained a high position which
seems SO exactly to suit, his dispos-
ition anil tasies.-PanGma Star and
Herald.
